Friends of Interpretable Objects

Tamen’s concern is to show how inanimate objects take on life through their interpretation-notably, in our own culture, as they are collected and housed in museums.It is his claim that an object becomes interpretable only in the context of a “society of friends.” Thus, he suggests, our inveterate tendency as human beings to interpret the phenomenal world gives objects not only a life but also a society.
